City to Take more private land via city’ code enforcement

At tonight city council meeting they will be voting to take the following properties, that the city code enforcement had tore down. Cause many of these homes didn’t meet the city code enforcement ideal of being a fixable home or property that wasn’t worth to be fixed up.

Also for those of us, who live in RMT, all of these homes are in the older parts of the city, where income level is at or below poverty. Where the Code Enforcement officers spent every day riding through these neighborhoods looking for a way to rise money for the city. While ignoring the richer parts of the city.

Which the city is getting all these properties between 4-8 thousand dollars each. Which they will turn around and sell for high prices.. Most of these aren’t being taken for long overdue taxes..
